Item Description

Pre-owned.  This beautiful hand blown and etched signed Fire & Light Vase is 5.25 inches tall, 8 inches wide and 5 3/8 inches thick. This amazing and heavy vase is 4" deep on the inside in very pretty green, with no chips, cracks, crazing or damage of any kind.  It is an early design with the bubbles throughout the glass, giving it a lively feel. It would be beautiful to put an inch or two of small gravel in the bottom of this vase and fill it with paperwhite bulbs or an Amaryllis bulb. It can easily stand alone with natural light shining through it, lighting up your home.

Fire & Light Originals has a noteworthy heritage, formed in 1995 as a partnership between the Arcata's Community Recycling Center in Humboldt County, California, and a group of local investors who wanted to develop an innovative plan for using crushed, recycled glass. Our founders decided to turn their recycled glass into a raw material, manufacturing distinctive products for sale in and out of the immediate area. After careful consideration, the group decided upon a distinctive line of colored glass dinnerware which would be created by melting crushed glass in furnaces, adding pigment, and pressing the molten glass into bowls, plates, and glasses. In December, 1995, the first glass products were poured and pressed from the Fire & Light furnaces, and the world became a bit more luminous, slightly more colorful.
